Google has this fabulous service which i have been using since quite a while . It's something similar to yahoo groups , google groups etc but this uses SMS . So what anybody posts in a group would go to all its member via SMS . Its a pretty handy service . There are a lot of public groups available as well as private groups.

This service has a lot of applications . For example : a group of friends or employees can build a private group and send updates on whats happening around them , so all they need to do is send 1 SMS and this would be automatically to everybody in the group. Pretty cool uh. Apart from private groups which you can create for FREE . There are also public groups . Groups which include topics such as weather , jokes , quotes, cricket updates , food,technology etc . SO it can be very useful and informative . You can get cricket updates for FREE , even jokes sent to your mobile daily for FREE . I think its a fantastic service and very useful.

Especially the fact that there is no limitation when it comes to its application . I mean a group of friends , employees , teachers , organizations etc almost everybody can find some use or the other . So here's a small introduction on google sms channels :

Step 1 : You first need to register , CLICK HERE to create an account and ADD your mobile to your account.
Step 2 : Then GO HERE to view all the available groups . You have categories like jokes,technology,cricket etc

Step 3 : You can even create your new group by going HERE

Step 4 : Once you choose a group just click on the Subscribe button to subscribe

Step 5 : You can choose when you want to receive these messages from your groups and how many per day in the SETTINGS page


FINAL WORDS
Google SMS channels is a really nice service which can give you a lot of information and can entertain you , depending on the group you choose :) and all this at NO COST at all is just fantastic!!
